Roughly cut up the butter and add. Pulse so that the mixture resembles rough breadcrumbs. Add the grated cheese and pulse once more.

Empty into a bowl and add the yogurt or buttermilk – mix it in with a metal spoon. Carefully press the mixture with your hands into a ball of dough. Work as lightly as possible as you don’t want to overwork the dough.

Flour a board and roll out to about 3/4 of an inch. Press out scones with a small cookie cutter and place on baking sheet.

Sprinkle a little grated cheese over each one.

Pop in the oven for 7-8 minutes. If they’re not browned on top, give them another minute. Remove and cool on wire rack.

Enjoy with copious amounts of butter – but make to warm them if you’re not eating them straight from the oven.

They freeze brilliantly or keep up to 3 days in an airtight container.
